  • 1 MODAL GRAIN SIZE EVOLUTION AS IT RELATES to the DREDGING and PLACEMENT PROCESS – GALVESTON ISLAND, TEXAS Coraggio Maglio1, H
    MODAL GRAIN SIZE EVOLUTION AS IT RELATES TO THE DREDGING AND PLACEMENT PROCESS – GALVESTON ISLAND, TEXAS Coraggio Maglio1, Himangshu S. Das1 and Frederick L. Fenner1 During the fall and winter of 2015, a beneficial-use of dredged material project taking material from the Galveston Entrance Channel and placing it on a severely eroded beach of Galveston Island was conducted. This material was estimated to have 38% fines. This operation was conducted again in the fall of 2019 and monitored for estimation of the loss of fines, changes in compaction and color from the dredging source to the beach. The local community and state funded the incremental cost at approximately $8 a cubic yard in 2015, and $10.5 a cubic yard in 2019 to have this material pumped to the beach. The projects were closely monitored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the USACE Galveston District. The data from this placement project was used to calculate and better understand the loss of fines during the dredging and placement process as well as aid in the generation of an empirical formula to estimate the loss of fine sediments during dredging and beach placement. This formula takes into account: losses due to dredging equipment operations, slope of the effluent return channel at the beach, sediment settling velocity, and sorting parameter. Keywords: beneficial use; dredging process; fines loss; fate of fines; beach nourishment; beach placement INTRODUCTION The scarcity of quality sediments for beach placement projects has become a challenge in United States of America and internationally.

  • Certification for Dredge Professionals- the Why and How
    Proceedings of Western Dredging Association and Texas A&M University Center for Dredging Studies' "Dredging Summit and Expo 2015" CERTIFICATION FOR DREDGE PROFESSIONALS- THE WHY AND HOW A. Alcorn1, D. Hayes2, and R. Randall3 ABSTRACT The dredging industry encompasses a wide range of professional disciplines including civil, coastal, dredging, environmental, mechanical, ocean engineering and marine science as well as cost estimation and construction management to name a few. Many organizations currently offer special recognition in the form of certification for attaining a higher level of expertise within the discipline. Examples include Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), ENVISION (framework for evaluating roads and infrastructure, similar to LEED standards for buildings) certification, Academy of Coastal, Ocean, Port, and Navigation Engineering (ACOPNE), and many computer industries for specific software. This paper investigates types of certifications available, discusses their applicability to the dredging industry, and proposes certification concepts the Western Dredging Association (WEDA) might champion that could potentially benefit the industry. The paper explores the need for a dredging-specific certification and describes general processes that might be implemented. Keywords: Dredging certification, certification process, value, types of certification. INTRODUCTION There has been a concentrated emphasis recently in professional organizations to provide a process to recognize mastery of specialized areas of expertise. There are many catalysts for this trend. Entry-level and early career individuals see a need to differentiate themselves from others to either break into a difficult job market or advance more rapidly in their organizations. Some professional certifications (such as professional engineers and land surveyors) are required by law. Public and private entities sometimes use certifications to establish minimum qualifications for contractors.

  • Conversion of Potomac River Dredge Sediments to Productive Agricultural Soils1
    CONVERSION OF POTOMAC RIVER DREDGE SEDIMENTS TO PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL SOILS1 W. Lee Daniels, G. Richard Whittecar, and Charles H. Carter III2 Abstract. River channel and harbor dredging activities in the eastern USA generate hundreds of millions of yards of dredge materials annually with very little used beneficially. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge project across the Potomac River at Washington D.C. generated in excess of 450,000 m3 of silt loam, high pH, low salt dredge materials. The materials were barged to Shirley Plantation on the James River in Charles City Co. Virginia, and placed into an upland utilization area atop a previously reclaimed sand and gravel mine. The strongly reduced inbound sediments were very low in sulfides, pesticides, and other contaminants. The materials were dewatered, treated with varying rates of yardwaste compost and planted to wheat (Triticum vulgare) in the fall of 2001 and corn (Zea mays) in 2002 and 2003. Winter wheat yields in 2001 were similar to local agricultural lands despite animal damage and less than ideal establishment conditions. Average corn yields in 2002 were greater than long-term county prime farmland yields in a severe drought year (2002) and equaled county averages in a wet year (2003). Soil pit and auger observations revealed significant oxidation and formation of a deep Ap-AC-C profiles with coarse prismatic structure within two years after placement. Overall, the chemical and physical properties of these materials are equal or superior to the best topsoils in the region, supporting federal initiatives to utilize suitable dredge materials in upland environments whenever possible. Additional Key Words: Sand and gravel mining, oxidation, water quality, beneficial use.
